Cordially Invited

 You are cordially invited to celebrate the failure of succeeding of Miss/Mr ______. (S)he has played a significant role in trying to make it in life. (S)he has done so many things that (S)he thought were a success, but failed to succeed.

Either way, this person didn't succeed to fail, but failed to succeed. See in life there is a difference between succeeding to fail and failing to succeed. The person who failed to succeed is the person who tried, regardless of, the demographic/ psychographic / gender / income nor race, to make it in life. This person was one of the people who where there in the beginning of the racetrack, on his marks, ready to go and ventured in the race and didn't make it to win the bronze, silver or gold. 

Now, there's a person who succeeds to fail. This person, from the word go, has prophecied failure unto themselves. This person looks down upon him/herself. This person has determined the negative pole of the law of attraction. This person thinks only of failure when new opportunities avail themselves to him /her, not on hi marks, nor ready to go.

These two people in life are called the optimist and the pessimist. However, in the world that we live in, these two people are often confused when situations or challenges arise. When the optimist sets out for an adventure and fails to succeed, he or she is called a failure and when the pessimist sits in for complains and murmurs, he is said to be better off.

Somehow, we are often stereotyped that if you didn't succeed in making it in whatever that you ventured in, you're not worth something. But the worst is that when you don't venture in what you think can make you succeed nd think about what people will say, who, what, when, where and not the how and why you should do it, then you are the same as a closed book, written or unwritten.

You are cordially invited to the celebration of life: to live, to love, to laugh, to fail and succeed, to forgive, to cry, to rejoice, to conquer, to impact, and to live and leave a legacy.

Yours Cordially 
The Nurturer

In Her Hands: Bleeding Dreams (Ink)

    Life seems, to most us, a monotonous system where one believes in a certain way of making a living or following a specific routine that has been set and travelled before. The system consists of being born and religiously raised to follow certain oppressive means of living and making it in life.   Amongst a generation, born is a gene, amid the rational ones, who believes that climbing the same train that has rotated and still rotates in the destinations that are deemed to be of efficiency or of the “qualified,” is somewhat adamant to what she believes in. that gene doesn’t only exist in myself, but abides   in most of us.   Fear sometimes skips a generation, but in times that we live in, it is imposed and lives in every generation. The other imposes it then it transforms to be self-imposed fear. Courage , however, does not find comfort than fear does in such minds, for it is not a quality that religiously lives in the life of a black man, as it is...

The Brazen Altar

Someone might have told you this or you may have heard someone say "Don't cry for spilt milk, Clover is on its way".  When one is faced with situations it seems like you're losing everything that you've worked tirelessly for and just when you thought that all is falling into place, it all falls apart. The Brazen Altar is an Altar of burnt offering, the place where natural, earthly things that hinder your walk with God are consumed by the fire of God. Not only is it a place of sacrifice but a preparation stage for the best. The best thing with facing challenges is knowing that the best is yet to come. Even though we are made of flesh but when one goes through fire we ought to be the steel in the fire that still stands when ashes remain. We lose things that may have meant the world to us although we don't know that they are sacrifices for things to come that will mean the universe.  Holding on to things won't make things better if one wants what...
